‘Straight into the paper shredder:’ Texans decry Obama schools directive about transgender bathrooms
The Washington Post ^ | May 13, 2016 | Katie Mettler

Posted on 05/13/2016 6:13:44 AM PDT by Trump20162020

News of the president’s forthcoming directive requiring educators to let students use bathrooms according to their gender identity — not their birth certificate — offered a welcome set of guidelines to some school administrators Thursday night about how they ought to proceed amidst the ongoing legal and cultural bathroom battle embroiling the nation.

As Obama’s time in the White House ticks away, the president wants his administration to leave a legacy of social reform, especially when it comes to issues like same-sex marriage, immigration, healthcare, clean air and climate change. Because Congress is under Republican control, Obama has mostly had to blaze this trail on his own. While doing so, however, the administration has in many ways left in its wake a mess of court and cultural battles that will likely wind up in the lap of the next president.

Blaze the trail? How about ignoring the Constitution!

No problem at all, one EO undoing all the POS’ and a second directing all departments and agencies to stop enforcing or litigating any aspect of any of those voided.

Trump should have this accomplished by 12:10PM on Jan 20th. In fact, he should have his SS detail ram them down the POS” throat.

He wants civil war and if it doesn’t come by the time he is done, it will then come during the new administration. All pressure now put on the people will then be applied to the new president, presuming it will be a Republican. Riots will be to come even before they are sworn in.

Obama is the first "Drive By President".
By that I mean, He comes in fires off a barrage of regulations and leaves everyone else to work out the details and make what he wants work.
And if he doesn't like how it turns out, He'll drive by again.

. . .I actually expect the riots to start this summer. Cleveland and Baltimore, and maybe Philly, at minimum. . .

You are right. Interesting that it’s just public schools and businesses - none of which his family uses. Would suspect that most the children of younger Congressmen also attend private schools - more of the for thee but not me mentality.

First of all, from a strictly legal standpoint, what is a transgender person? Is it simply a dude who dresses like a girl? Or, is it anyone who says they are a girl regardless of how they dress? Or is it someone who’s chopped off their body parts? This is the biggest weakness in the federal governments directive...transgender is not legally defined. This definition can come out of Congress, but they have chosen not to define it it as of now, therefore the President has zero legal basis to make this decree....from on high. He’s not a King.

Secondly, whenever you here anyone of the opposite sex argue for males to have access to females locker rooms, bathrooms, showers, etc (and visa versa)....follow them into the restroom when you get a chance. It’s what they are advocating for, so let them have it their way.

Thirdly, if we do lose this case. We then push to give the left total victory...and start advocating for one soccer team, one golf team, and one basketball team at high schools and colleges. Since gender is not an issue in the eye’s of the left....even in the bathrooms, then let’s make it a non-issue for everything!!

Geeze, Obama is just a disaster. We’ve got all these problems with the budget, the borders, the economy, and he’s choosing to focus on so-called transgender students...really?

Has anyone checked the schools where Obama’s kids go if their bathrooms are transgender?

He is intentionally hyper-sexualizing young children which will destroy their innocence and virtue formation and destroy Reason/Logic (the Chrisitian Worldview) for the tribal, irrational, victim, dependent, satanic, islamic worldview.

His childhood was bathed in Marxist ideology by a prostitute/Marxist “Stanley” who hired a tranny nanny to “raise” young Barry.

His whole worldview is WARPED and SICK. There is no Common Sense, morality or ANYTHING possible in that sick Mind. He is the spawn of satan at best and we would PUKE if we knew what was really in his “Mind”.

Desires and emotions are embedded by early environment and his was rotten-—full of desertion and evil people forming his worldview.

Parents need to CONTROL the IDEAS that go into their children’s heads in the formative years-—up to age 8——and THEN-—make sure the perverts (Common Core) doesn’t undermine their innocence and understading of Truth/Reality/Natural Family——or you will end up with evil, irrational children with sick, warped, vile mindsets like barry and hillary-—both are so evil and vile, there is no hope for them.

Get YOUR children/grandchildren OUT of the indoctrination (group (non) think) artificial system which REMOVES children from their TRUE role models (male/female) where Common Sense and the ability to “Love” all is embedded (True Christian Worldview which created the Minds of Newton and Tesla (Classical Christian Education/Common Sense in Real Life Situations-—REAL humanization (relating to PEOPLE, learning to control REAL EMOTIONS vs. staring at screens, being programmed and dehumanized-—shutting down the neurons in the brain-—stunting creativity and self-reliance-—embedding TOTAL Dependency on other’s opinions/thinking.

Minds shut down and don’t function as God Designed-—pathways destroyed in young children when they look at screens. Steve Jobs never allowed his children to use computers in “schools”-—as Waldorf schools until AFTER AGE !3-—so the kids are learning to maximize brainpower-—autonomy-—practicing THINKING FOR THEMSELVES-—think Davy Crockett or Abe Lincoln-—never stepped foot in an indoctrination system or was removed from REAL LIFE INTERACTIONS and mastering REAL LIFE experiences which is what creates REAL self-esteem!.

Uh, I was referring to Trump(not Obammy) being all in on this transgender/restroom mess. Someone said Trump would change it with an executive order but he is in favor of the freaks in our daughters toilet.
